Before commit 54fa0cfe4e, the `redshift`
service was run with the environment variable `DISPLAY` set to `:0`.
Commit 54fa0cfe4e changed this to
instead use the value of the `services.xserver.display` configuration
option in the value of the `DISPLAY` variable. In so doing, no default
value was provided for the case where `services.xserver.display` is
`null`.
While the default value of `services.xserver.display` is `0`, use of
which by the `redshift` module would result in `DISPLAY` again being
set to `:0`, `services.xserver.display` may also be `null`, to which
value it is set by, e.g., the `lightdm` module.
In the case that `services.xserver.display` is `null`, with the change
made in commit 54fa0cfe4e, the `DISPLAY`
variable in the environment of the `redshift` service would be set to
`:` (a single colon), which, according to my personal experience,
would result in —
- the `redshift` service failing to start; and
- systemd repeatedly attempting to restart the `redshift` service,
looping indefinitely, while the hapless `redshift` spews error
messages into the journal.
It can be observed that the malformed value of `DISPLAY` is likely at
fault for this issue by executing the following commands in an
ordinary shell, with a suitable `redshift` executable, and the X11
display not already tinted:
- `redshift -O 2500` — This command should reduce the color
temperature of the display (making it more reddish).
- `DISPLAY=':' redshift -O 6500` — This command should raise the
color temperature back up, were it not for the `DISPLAY`
environment variable being set to `:` for it, which should cause
it to, instead, fail with several error messages.
This commit attempts to fix this issue by having the `DISPLAY`
environment variable for the `redshift` service default to its old
value of `:0` in the case that `services.xserver.display` is `null`.
I have tested this solution on NixOS, albeit without the benefit of a
system with multiple displays.
gdnc is a user process and can't be made into a NixOS module very
easily. It can still be put in the user's login script. According to the
GNUstep documentation it will be started as soon as it is needed.
- Agent now takes a full URL to the Go.CD server
- Instruct the agent to attempt restart every 30s upon failure
- Test's Accept header did not match the server's expectation
- Replace the tests' complex Awk matches with calls to `jq`
Update gocd-agent package version to 16.6.0-3590 including new sha. Modify heapSize
and maxMemory mkOption to accurately reflect their intended purpose of configuring
initial java heap sizes.
From @fpletz: Keep poolConfigs option for backwards-compatibility.
The original commit 6b3f5b5a42 was previously
reverted by c7860cae1a but the issues were
resolved.
The varnish tools (varnishstat, varnishlog, ...) tried to load the VSM
file from a spurious var directory in the Nix store. Fix the default so
the tools "just work" when also keeping services.varnish.stateDir at the
default.
Notes:
- The tools use $localstatedir/$HOSTNAME so I've adapted the default for
stateDir as well to contain hostName.
- Added postStop action to remove the localstatedir. There is no point
in keeping it around when varnish does not run, as it regenerates it
on startup anyway.
Fixes#7495
The name gitlab-runner clashes with a component of Gitlab CI with the
same name and only confuses people. It's now called gitlab-bundle and
a convenience-script gitlab-rake for easier invocation of rake tasks
was added. This was the primary use case of gitlab-runner.
